Installing a lock on a bedroom door

Anyone know how much it costs for installing a lock for a bedroom door?
Looking for one where you can lock from inside and out using a key. Can locksmiths do this?

    Yale lock ? Digital key pad type £25 about 1 hr to fit

    Think getting special handle type lock as in hotels could be costly?

    Yale type would be ok as its a wooden door. How much on average do they cost to install by a professional?

    Go to https://www.screwfix.com they have a "rimlock" for £13 plus post, unless you spend over £45.This is an old fashion version of a mortice lock.It screws onto the door and frame itself on the side you choose and as long as you can drill a hole for the key yourself then no need for a locksmith.
